Public bug reported:
I am testing virtualbox4,1,8 for backporting to Ubuntu11.10 64bit -> see
Bug 925480.
Sometimes(arround every 10-20 times) a start of a guest crashed xorg,
which brings the user back to login screen. That is critical, because in
regular cases such behaviour will cause data loose of not saved work.
Expected: xorg should be more robust to handle virtualisation with
virtualbox. -> Crashes of the guest may be o.K, but crashes of the host
are not.
Additional:
This is also reported to virtualbox bugtracker, but I see it more on the side
on xorg than virtualbox.
I have observed such behaviour also on openSUSE12.1, also with 4.1.6 for sure.
I do not know if the crasher also happen with virtualbox4.1.2, which ships with
Ubuntu 11.10 by default.(I am pretty sure it is like this).
I am on Radeon HD3000.
